In a recent interview with PCWorld, AMD reiterated his plans to launch the feature FidelityFX Super Resolution for RDNA graphics cards 2 by the end of this year to address NVIDIA's DLSS. The information came from the latest Full Nerd Special podcast with Scott Herkelman of AMD, who attended as one of the guests on the show. The technology in question was announced several months ago and this year competes with the license plate function NVIDIA - which has been particularly talked about - regarding the GeForce RTX GPUs. Scott also confirmed that the technology will arrive first on gaming PCs with Radeon RX GPUs, but will later be rolled out to other platforms such as gaming consoles such as Xbox Series X e PlayStation 5, also powered by the RDNA 2 architecture.
It also appears that development is going very well, however the team would be working very hard to get the algorithm to upscaling provide the best possible image quality. During the past few hours, the official acronym has also been confirmed, which is FSR: previously it was erroneously called FFS or FXSS by some portals. NVIDIA's DLSS relies solely on AI-assisted machine learning which is powered by their Tensor core GPU architecture while AMD, which appears to be more aligned with the approach Microsoft DirectML, it could be handled by standard hardware and not specialized AI cores.
Unlike NVIDIA, AMD doesn't offer a specific GPU lineup for the mining, but there are rumors that they may be in development. Unfortunately, AMD GPUs are not so exceptional in this field compared to NVIDIA's Ampere offerings: AMD's top, the RX 6900 XT, offers about 60-70 MH / s in Ethereum, while NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 3090 can reach the 125 MH / s when tuned. Speaking of which, did you know that the mining limiter has recently been bypassed for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060?
